Effect Of Inorganic Salts On Adsorption Process, Pai-Yuan Horng

Dissertations

`Small amounts (0.0 M-0.01 M) of inorganic salts (sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and aluminum chloride) added to bituminous coal fly ash and granular activated carbon in batch adsorption treatment experiments indicates the possibility of enhancing the extent and rate of adsorption process.

Experiments were conducted on aqueous solutions of highly toxic and hazardous chemicals, those include : phenol, benzene, toluene, isopropyl alcohol, and methyl-isobutyl ketone. Single and multiple solute systems were examined separately. Removal of organic pollutants was measured using a Flame Ionization Detector Gas Chromatograph.

This study investigated the role of inorganic salts during the sorption process. The results …

Application Research On Wastewater Reuse For Petrochemical Refining Industry In Taiwan, Lih-Shyan Lee

Theses

Nowadays water conservation and pollution abatement are needed to provide increasingly higher levels of treatment for industrial wastewaters.

Reducing treatment costs give us the incentive to minimize the volume of Wastewater effluent. Also, the national goal of zero discharge of pollutants to the waterways by 1985 provided further incentive -to minimize the flow of wastewaters.

A successful treatment of the wastewater discharged from the secondary effluent of the petroleum refinery plant to economically acceptable conditions offers a challenge to our technology.

Through this research, it is concluded that the excellent effluent water qualities produced from filtration and granular activated carbon …
